Chapter 163 A Big Short's Prisoner

• After a few minutes of silence, Eric couldn’t help but say, “If it were the Elder of a General Army, Leonard’s background must be powerful.” Arlene was even more stunned. How could her cla**mate have such a powerful background all of a sudden? When Arlene heard the news that Leonard was imprisoned, she could hardly believe it. It seemed that a big shot had selected him, and even being imprisoned might be a ploy. “I planned to recruit him as an instructor of my men, but there seems to be no hope,” Ryuga sighed. “I wonder which Elder he works for. Is it Egbert Landon? If it is, that would be interesting.” At Shoal Manor. Rex handed a box to Leonard. “Mr. Santos, this is the gift I bought.” Leonard opened the box and saw a beautiful gem. “The gem is called Angel Wings, and it is from a master…”
• Rex introduced. The gem was brilliant. Leonard believed Marianna would like it, so he “Thank you. I’ll give you the money later.” put it away. “Mr. Santos, you don’t need to give me the money. Just take it,” Rex said. “No way. It’s a gift for Marianna. How can I have you spend money?” “Okay, Mr. Santos. It costs 540 thousand dollars.” “I will give you 600 thousand dollars. Keep the rest,” Leonard said. “Thank you, Mr. Santos,” Rex said happily. Although Rex did not care about the money, it showed that his relationship with Leonard was getting closer. Early the next morning. Eileen, Jocelyn, and others came to the villa to pick up Leonard. Therefore, Leonard didn’t need Rex to drive him there. Leonard was familiar with some people. He had met them several times before. Leonard met some of them for the first time, and they all came forward to greet Leonard one by one. Looking at the villa where Leonard lived, they were all amazed. After all, Shoal Manor was a symbol of status.
• “This is Lara Mccarthy, and this is Anne Lynn. We’ll all ride in one car. They are all Marianna’s friends,” Eileen introduced to Leonard. Lara was lively and cheerful. She came up to say hello to Leonard and did not forget to tease him, which embarra**ed him. Eileen drove a red BMW. Lara and Anne sat in the back seats while Leonard sat in the pa**enger seat. Along the way, Leonard looked at the scenery outside the window boredly. Lara looked sweet and talked the most along the way. Anne was quieter and more ladylike. On the way, she occasionally glanced at Leonard in the pa**enger seat with a trace of curiosity. Unbeknownst to others, she happened to have read reports about Leonard. As the president of the Santos Group, Leonard was worth more than 40 billion dollars. If he weren’t Marianna’s boyfriend, Anne would pursue him.
